[MCN-L] IP SIG: Belgian Court Rules Against Google in Newspaper Case
Belgian Court Rules Against Google in Newspaper Case [from GigaLaw.com] Google Inc. lost a copyright lawsuit to Belgian newspapers that had demanded it remove headlines and links to articles posted on its news site without their permission. The ruling, if it stands on appeal, could set a precedent for how Web search engines link to copyrighted material in the tumultuous arena of online news, according to the Belgian copyright group that launched the case. [from GigaLaw.com] The link: http://news.wired.com/dynamic/stories/B/BELGIUM_GOOGLE_VS_NEWSPAPERS?SITE=WIRESECTION=HOMETEMPLATE=DEFAULT U.S.-based technology lawyer [and MCN 2006 speaker] Jonathan Band said the ruling was neither final - as it can be appealed to higher courts in Belgium - nor did it bear much weight since legal precedent is not as important in Continental European law.

[MCN-L] Metrics Evaluation SIG
Hi Stephen -- I'm also interested in evaluation of online learning environments, and I'd be very interested in your ideas on input metrics. Sheila Carey Stephen C Brown sbrown at dmu.ac.uk Sent by: mcn-l-bounces at mcn.edu 02/15/2007 12:56 PM Please respond to Museum Computer Network Listserv mcn-l at mcn.edu To Museum Computer Network Listserv mcn-l at mcn.edu cc Subject Re: [MCN-L] Metrics Evaluation SIG Hello Sheila, metrics and evaluation very often concentrate on outputs, that is to say: how many visitors came, what did they do, how much did they like it? What did they get from it? And so on. I'm interested in predictive measures that enable formative evaluations to be made of how effective a particular museum experience might be before it is actually launched. In other words, input metrics. I'm especially interested in how these ideas apply to Museum website design and learning activities, particularly when it comes to open ended exploratory kinds of activities. Is anyone else interested in these topics?

I'd welcome any suggestions on topics and/or speakers. Thanks.

[MCN-L] Evaluations and Metrics
The museum and heritage sector has traditionally used quantitative measures to describe past trends as opposed to establishing performance indicators to track and explore current and emerging qualitative and quantitative measures that can also be used to predict and articulate goals, successes, and future shifts in practice. The University of Victoria offers a Performance Measures course that explores a number of these important performance issues and looks to current performance indicator tools from the business and not-for-profit sector.
